Normally, it is tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizing purely by viewing specs. The visual underneath will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-P5 and GH5S.

All in all, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Olympus E-P5 to render extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older E-P5 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
